Event summary

Get ready for a hauntingly good time at the sixth annual Spooky Spirits 5K, set to take place on Saturday, October 17th, 2026, in the vibrant Suwanee Town Center Park, located in Gwinnett. Organized by Big South Productions, this exciting event combines the thrill of a timed race with the festive spirit of Halloween. Whether you're a competitive runner aiming for a personal best or simply looking to enjoy a leisurely stroll with friends, there’s something for everyone.

Participants can choose between two ticket options: for those who want to keep the party going, the Spirit Stops ticket allows runners to pause at five themed Spirit Stations along the course, each offering a delicious 3-ounce cocktail sample. Don’t worry if you prefer to sprint through; all runners over 21 will be treated to a full cocktail at the finish line. Dress in your most creative costume for a chance to win prizes in categories like Best Female Costume, Best Male Costume, and Best Group Costume. After crossing the finish line, enjoy vendor booths and take home an official Spooky Spirits 5K shirt, medal, and souvenir glass to commemorate your spirited achievement. Join us for a fun-filled day of running and revelry—cheers
